Description
Key Features:
- Anatomical Design: The plate is contoured to match the specific anatomy of the proximal femur, ensuring optimal fit and stability.
- Locking Screw Technology: The plate is designed to be used with locking screws. These screws have a special thread that engages with the plate, preventing them from backing out and providing a secure fixation.
- Material: The plate is typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material known for its strength and corrosion resistance.
- Multiple Configurations: The plate comes in various configurations with different hole patterns and lengths to accommodate diverse fracture patterns and surgical approaches.
Potential Uses:
- Fracture Repair: The plate is used to stabilize fractures of the proximal femur, including:
- Intertrochanteric fractures
- Subtrochanteric fractures
- Femoral neck fractures
- Osteotomy: It can also be used to hold bone fragments in place after an osteotomy (surgical bone cutting) in the proximal femur region.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Stability: The locking screw technology provides excellent stability and reduces the risk of implant failure.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: The plate can often be inserted through a smaller incision, leading to less trauma and faster recovery.
- Improved Bone Healing: The plate promotes bone healing by providing a stable environment for the fracture site.
